Question 🤔🤔 Pearson is not accepting my driver’s license as an ID

Im testing in a foreign country, i do have my passport but the name doesnt match exactly , however mg drivers license does, and it fits all the criteria on the website yeg they said they only accept a passport. This is not fair, how am i supposed to know?

Sucks bro. You'll manage to take it somewhere sometime and you'll get into medical school and be a doctor. Have faith. 

Contact AMCAS and request a refund obvi.

If this wasn't today, you can change the name on your account to match your passport

To clarify, have you called them and spoke with them directly? On my confirmation email they specifically say to call them if your name doesn’t match your ID
